If you’re aiming for the S gear reward in Dicero’s Green Onion event, the biggest mistake players make is assuming they can brute-force it with gems alone. You can’t. Even with perfect planning, this event forces a mix of free rewards, gems, and paid packs.
Here’s the clean, optimized path based on your breakdown, with some practical insights so you don’t overspend.
Total Requirement
To complete 4 laps and secure the S gear piece:
- 180 onions total
- Each lap = 45 onions
This assumes no early completion luck, which is the safest way to plan.
Free Onion Sources
You get a decent chunk for free:
- Daily free packs → 5 onions
- Quest rewards → 15 onions
- Lap 1–3 rewards → 60 onions
Total Free:
80 onions
Onions You Still Need to Buy
After free sources:
- 180 total – 80 free = 100 onions needed
This is where most players get stuck.
Why Gems Alone Won’t Work
Even if you dump gems efficiently, the available gem packs don’t scale enough to reach 100 onions without overspending or hitting limits.
So yes, this event forces real-money purchases if you want guaranteed Lap 4 completion.
Cheapest Purchase Path
Here’s the best-value combination you listed, cleaned up:
Gem Packs
- 3 × (10 onions)
→ 30 onions for 1,464 gems
Paid Packs
- 5 × $1.99 packs (6 onions each)
→ 30 onions for $9.95 - 2 × $4.99 packs (12 onions each)
→ 24 onions for $9.98 - 1 × $19.99 pack (36 onions)
→ 36 onions for $19.99
Final Total Cost
- 1,464 gems + $39.92
- 100 onions covered exactly
No waste, no overbuying.
Smarter Spending Tips
Even though this is the “cheapest guaranteed path,” you can reduce cost slightly if you play smart:
1. Delay Purchases Until Needed
Don’t buy everything upfront. You might:
- Finish a lap early
- Save 5–10 onions
That can cut a whole pack.
2. Prioritize Smaller Packs First
The $1.99 and $4.99 packs give better value per onion compared to jumping straight into the $19.99.
3. Use Gems First
Always spend gems before money:
- Reduces real cash needed
- Gives flexibility if you get lucky
This event is designed to look grindable, but it’s actually a controlled paywall with a bit of flexibility.
- Free rewards get you halfway
- Gems help, but don’t carry
- Real money closes the gap
If your goal is guaranteed Lap 4, this path is the most efficient way to get there without wasting resources.
